There would be nothing wrong with fanservice if it didn't give people fuel to mock female characters, especially when they are announced as playable.

Take male characters and they can discuss their fighting styles and control schemes and motivation to kingdom come, women on the other hand are mostly considered decoration or stage prop. Trish is a sex fantasy. Lady is a bitch. Only Lucia so far has certain level of respect, and mostly from people who liked DMC2.
